Book Crowley really is the most character ever.
He doesn’t need sleep but he loves it so he keeps doing it. He slept through the entire 14th century because he hated it. He answers to “Hail Satan” with a little wave and a “Hi”. He actually wants to listen to classical music but it keeps turning into Queen. We don’t realize he has yellow slitted eyes until he’s frantically searching for Aziraphale at the burning bookshop. He keeps a nice, spacious, modern flat just because it’s the kind of flat the human he pretends to be would have. He bought a great sound system and forgot to buy speakers for it but made it work miraculously. He keeps a fully stocked fridge with food that never goes bad just to keep up appearances. He loves Mary Poppins and tries to emulate her as a nanny. He was casted out of Hell. Deep down he is an optimist who believes the Universe will look after him. He hasn’t forgotten he was an Angel once and still tries to go good. He actively tries to keep people from getting harmed. He hates guns. He questions God’s plan but still trusts there is one and maybe he has a part in it. He was friends with Da Vinci. He went to Spain, saw what the Spanish Inquisition was doing and proceeded to get drunk for a week.
I want to study him like a bug under a microscope.
Hang on, though, if at this point he's changed everything from the format to the functionality to the name... Could someone now legally and literally start a new Twitter? Like, not a new Twitter alternative - literally just clone the old one, right down to the name? Because the comedic potential...
Tony: we're out of coffee
Peter: we hid it, its been 2 days since you got any rest. You need to sleep.
Tony: 3 days actually
Tony: why did I just volunteer that information?
Peter: Because you need to go to sleeeeeep
Seeing and knowing
okay but like. This exact concept is what finally got me to be open about being queer in my day to day.
I was at work. I can't go into detail about the situation, but someone was outed without their consent. And nobody was saying anything, and it was quiet, so I outed myself, too. So at least neither of us would be alone.
I was worried about the consequences. I'd never considered my identity a secret, but I wasn't open about it, either. It felt like it wasn't relevant to my job. If someone asked, I'd tell them, but otherwise, what did it matter?
After the incident, I met privately with a higher up. Told them what had happened and why it wasn't good, and made some suggestions on what to do in the future to keep everyone safe to be in the closet or out of it on their own terms.
To my absolute amazement, they told me that others had come forwards anonymously to say the same things. Then word spread. Meetings were had. Policy and procedures were put in place. A training course on gender and sexuality was implemented for the very first time.
And of course there were protests- people who dug in their heels and kicked up a fuss and didn't want to learn about "all that bullshit", and when those people showed their colors, their superiors realized that they weren't actually good representatives of the sort of environment they wanted to provide our clients, and a small number were actually let go.
I went to a meeting again the other week. And do you know what happened?
The meeting lead introduced themselves by name and pronouns, and asked everyone to please state their name, and, if they wished, theirs as well.
I was near the front. I introduced myself with He/Him. I thought I'd stand out like a sore thumb and feel like an idiot for hoping for better.
Two people down, someone introduced themselves as They/Them. Someone I'd never spoken much to before.
Then, She/they. At least two "anything fine"s. A he/her.
It was incredible. And it wasn't even a whole year ago.
There are so many of us, now. Even more, as we teach and learn about ourselves, and it's not so scary because there are others like us.
I'm not as loud and proud as I hope to be some day, because I'm still scared, a little, but I am here.
And I've learned that being openly queer isn't about just expressing myself for the sake of it, bringing personal details into places it doesn't matter-
-it's about telling someone, it's not just you. I'm in your corner. There are more of us than they think. There is power in numbers, and you are not alone.
And I kind of love that
I bought a cheap bisexual flag bracelet at Pride this year, and I wear it daily in work. I'm a lecturer - many of my students are fresh faced eighteen year olds leaving home for the first time, and possibly considering the scary step of living openly for the first time. It's important, I think, that they can plainly and easily see that one of the authority figures in their brave new world is openly queer, and that's okay. Plus, it lets them know I'm a safe person to talk to about the whole thing.
Visibility is super important
good-enemy asked:
Is it legal to give someone six shots of espresso in a big cup
neil-gaiman answered:
I got an email from a friend the other day that said:
The baristas at the Starbucks I go to were so excited to tell me that my coffee order was on tv. I had no idea what they were talking about until I saw the first two episodes.
This is 6 shots of espresso with a splash of oatmilk and a dash of sugar. The baristas now call it the “fallen angel”.
